This is as expected. Garbage characters are output because *out* is bound to the platform default encoding. The platform default encoding will never be UTF-8 on Windows - it is likely to be something like Windows-1252, which is incapable of encoding those characters. * To trigger the compilation error, change the encoding of the file in > Notepad++ to "Encoding in UTF-8".

Perhaps it would be a reasonable enhancement for Clojure to treat the BOM as whitespace. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
